We are proud to now offer Japanese kobe and wagyu steaks plus burgers and kobe sausages made with kobe, wagyu, and prime meats at Carlos' Bistro as the state of Colorado is now a member of the Japanese Kobe Club.

    The food was delicious and the owner/chef was very passionate about his creative dishes. The rock music in the restaurant was an interesting choice for the type of restaurant, helping us reminisce to our high school/college days. Definitely a do-over restaurant!

    This place not only has incredible food but the service was impeccable. Will definitely be going back. They also have a great wine selection and priced very reasonably. We very much enjoyed our evening and had a great experience.

    We had a great anniversary dinner at Carlos Bistro. Service was top notch. Food was awesome. Very relaxed and accommodating. Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Some of the options are a bit more expensive but know what to expect when you go and it’s fine. Great drink option’s available if you are also looking for that. The outside seating area and fire pit were nice for a pre-dinner beverage. Thanks for a great evening.
